    Bad News about Lionfish

    what it means to me is that there is a huge chance of seeing the lionfish not only in the ocean but in the intercoastal, and possibly up into the canals :( if they can get their tolerance down to zero -- we might end up seeing them in Lake Okeechobee even.... where they might get a taste for...

    rough surf diving

    I am including rip currents in this since Rip currents are rough right now -- 5 people had to be rescued at Dania Beach on Friday on the north side. (that side is un-lifeguarded) I know you need to swim parallel to the shore if you're caught in a rip -- but it seems like some people don't --...

    Regulator feels like it wants to come out

    I'm using the Z2x regulator with the swivel & rubber hose that come with it. Last dive (and i've felt it on other dives), the regulator feels like it wants to pull itself out of my mouth (to my right) unless i'm really biting hard on the mouthpiece no matter how i move the swivel. I know a...

    Boynton Inlet Park

    I was up this past weekend at Boynton Inlet Park for one reason or another. I was wondering if diving was allowed there and if so anything worth seeing? the sign said submerged rocks. The large pipe in the air is the demarcation for the lifeguarded area vs non. my back isn't healed yet so i...

    audio issue

    I recorded a video where the video came out fine -- but the audio is way too soft. I admit it was in the dive housing but it was raining that day so didn't want to risk it getting wet. Anyone know if the gopro software can help with it or should i try editing the audio in Audacity to pump up...

    i found it interesting -- storyline aside - it has minor genetic & surgical alterations allowing diving at 300 atmospheres on top of a volcanic rift. Whether it will ever be feasible who knows but parts of it sound vaguely possible. It's available on amazon in paperback or can get online...
